Thanks @MF, that is encouraging, I needn't worry so much now :)
Mine is intermittently lame, can be lame or not lame within 1/4 mile! Vets can't find anything. To my consternation he has started to be stiff...
Mine is now 6 and he is slowing down unfortunately. :(
Some years back I broke my wrist and in the waiting room at the hospital, 90% with fractures were due to accidents through dogs!
Oh poor Willow and poor you, what a worry. There was a strange mosquito type insect that bit my Lab a few years back, the vet had never seen it...
So sorry to read this. Perhaps a visit to the vet again.
I would say you are right :D
Very good news. Having had an epileptic dog I know the stress and strain, it sounds as if Snowie is doing vey well.
So pleased that Paul will not be going back to the shelter, you are an angel.
Mummy dog looks very fit and happy and the pups all strong and healthy, how lovely to know your puppy from birth.

What a lovely enlightening and warm post from you @alschwahn and what a fantastic looking dog. You will give hope to the ones suffering from the...
I do feel for you and the 'twitchy' feeling is horrid. My beloved Lab was put to sleep last September, I had moments of extreme grief but somehow...
I haven't had my Lab x-rayed and would be reluctant to put him under unnecessary anaesthetic. He has worked for three years, one year with me and...
Lovely puppy with a great name. Welcome. It is tiring at first but you will soon forget that :D
I am sure the owners of dogs with bad hips would not knowingly work their dogs to harm them. I think the hips have been discovered later in old...
Lovely description @Maxx's Mum, seems idyllic.
I have only just seen this and have read the post from the beginning. I am so sorry, you must be feeling so disappointed that all your hopes for...
I certainly yell at my husband and then feel very guilty as he isn't well. We all get tired and stressed and would be a saint if we didn't...
Oh my goodness, what a fright and made worse by not being able to find a vet immediately. Thank heaven all is now well.
